this little app looks pretty nifty for monitoring your connectivity:

also you will want to setup a cron job for the limiter. Some monitoring apps contain limiters in them as well. also, check this one out:

There are many others too, i just don't have any recommendations since i don't use/need one. type 'bandwidth' into the search bar @ freshmeat.net to see what else they have




goodluck,
